FIRST TIME SET UP GUIDE
When using the MXL006 Camping Kit for the first time we recommend following this guide.

Use the Satellite Compass to determine the direction of south.
The Green arrow in the compass ball always points to south.
With the Camping Kit Case placed on a level
surface and pointing south, fix the Lid (containing the Dish)
in a Vertical position by tightening the wingnut.
Loosen screws in the LNB Holder with the screwdriver provided.
Insert the LNB into the LNB Holder, note the angle and position of the LNB.

Programmes on the ASTRA 2 cluster of satellites are beamed down to create three footprints, NORTH,
SOUTH and UK. All FREE TO AIR and SKY programmes are received in these footprints.
Whilst travelling in the UK, you should be within all three of the footprints and with the right
equipment, you should not have any problems with receiving all of the ASTRA transponders.
Outside of the UK, problems of reception and aligning the dish can start to occur. The default
frequency of the SKY ‘Digibox’ is set to a transponder on the north beam. As you travel south and
move out of the north footprint, you may need to change the default transponder of the ‘Digibox’ to
match the south beam.
To change the default transponder setting, you will first need to access the hidden ‘INSTALLER SETUP’
menu. First press the ‘SERVICES’ button on you SKY remote and the ‘4’ to access ‘SYSTEM SETUP’.
Although it is not displayed, you will need to press ‘0’ then ‘1’ then ‘SELECT’ to access the ‘INSTALLER
SETUP’ menu, then ‘2’ to enter ‘DEFAULT TRANSPONDER’.
The display will then show, from top to bottom:-
Frequency (GHz), Polarisation, Symbol Rate (Nbaud), FEC and Save new settings.
Select ‘ FREQUENCY (GHz) and by typing in the relevant numbers, change the settings from ‘11.778’
to 11.720’. Using the arrow keys, change the Polarisation setting from ‘V’ to ‘H’. When the changes
have been made you will then need to ‘SAVE NEW SETTINGS’.
Press ‘BACK UP’ to return to main screen.
